Hi Dave and All
We grew up in an area of good northern lights - an
island of PEI when the only source of light in the
winter was kerosene or wood. The Northern Lights were
spectular especially in winter. We always thought we
could hear the noise they made going across the sky
but there was a lot of currents in the sea and when
there was ice - there was lots of possibilities!
There was a couple of heron rockeries on the island
also. These were noisey affairs and the Scotch
settlers called them "bougles". That word meant to
them scare crows. The name will soon die a forgotten
death as no one even uses it nowadays.
So even if no boom makers there waas lots of other
noises.
Enjoy the fall
Paul
